so,
bought one of these little bastards a while back
going to build a frame and motorise it
mused at the thought of cutting it down the edges of the bonnet and around the windscreen and extending it then fibreglassing it using the shape to make the body wider
but trying to find a frame small enough is a bit of an issue,
i want to utilise the steering wheel kind of design,
i would really like to put the engine in the front and run a driveshaft to the back, but i dont feel like over engineering this is the way to go about it,
but in the way of weight distribution and the space under the "bonnet" i feel is a complete waste to just house the steering rack
especially when i feel like i could but a decent size engine and gearbox in it
ive looked at go kart frames
i've looked at motorised esky's
i;ve looked at bodging a fridge trolley,
the motorised esky frame seems like the most compact way to go about it but i feel like this could be done alot better with a better base
